University of Western states

I’ve been going to the various clinics of the UWS for 10+ years for various aches and pains, sports & accident related, as well as for relief of the burden stress puts on the body. It’s always quick and easy to get in and they are prompt in meeting appointment times, unlike many mainstream medical practitioners. Plenty of off-​street parking is a bonus.
The Doctor in charge always oversees treatments and pops into the room a time or 2 during treatment. That’s reassuring. But the interns know what they’re doing, as the clinic time is at the end of their schooling there, after practicing on each other for years. I always get relief after treatments. They do so much more than just adjusting bones: deep muscle & tissue massage, cold laser, ultrasound, trigger point release, blood pressure reading, physical therapy exercise recommendations, nutritional & lifestyle (stress) advice and a whole lot of other stuff that I haven’t needed to explore. I just tell them my symptoms and they get to work, knowing what procedure to use. Never have I felt rushed or not listened to. If a patient has something they cannot treat, they will advise on which other options to consider. They can do x-​rays and bloodwork there at the clinic, which is a lot less expensive than having to go through one’s primary care physician just for a referral and then pay those high costs. The prices here at this clinic for everything are very reasonable. And that means I go whenever I feel like it, not just when I think I can afford to.

I visited this campus for my first-​ever massage appointment. I went here purely because of a recommendation from a friend who told me that they do free massages for veterans on certain days of the week, and after receiving my massage I can definitely tell you that I would gladly pay money for a massage here.
The clinic is operated by the students of UWS and they are overseen by their instructors. It is very neat to see the whole thing in action: the students learning how to communicate with their clients before, during, and after the appointment. When you come here, though, don’t forget that these students are just that — STUDENTS! So before you go getting all Siskel & Ebert on them just be humble and remember that everybody has to start somewhere.
They were very professional and attentive to any specific areas you would like to focus on. I did a general full-​body massage and was very pleased with the overall experience. The instructor came in half-​way through the session to check on the student and how the appointment was going and took over for a few minutes to show him how to use certain techniques for different areas.
I would recommend anyone to come here for a very decently-​priced and quality massage.

Been having sinus issues and some other stuff issues. Got hooked up by my BFF/​GF T.C. Was seen by Dr. S. & K. M. I’ve only just started coming here but I’m already pleased. Got holistic help for some things. I used a Sinus Popper (look it up) to clear the blockage in my ears. Strange but true.
The adjustments are a love hate kind of thing. I know that in the long run, things will be better.
In the meantime. One man’s pain is another’s adjustment. All in all I think it’s working. The place is nice and clean the people are great, plenty of parking. What’s not to like?
PS. Western States Chiropractic College name has been changed to «UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN STATES».

My first visit to a chiropractor I chose this clinic I was hesitant. It is hard for me to go to doctors and clinics hard to say I hurt. I was just tired enough of the way my body felt to actually go. Luckily my insurance pays for 80% which also made the decision for me. When I got there I felt so validated and taken care of. The questions made me understand that this was not just fix the hurt it was holistic and in my journey towards healing this was a necessary stop along the way. I was able to receive treatment and look at myself without judgement of how did i get here middle aged and obese and not paying attention. Leaving the inner world of depression to being helped by people who really cared and didnt seem to judge just see it as a good place to come for help and be open to it. i feel so much better and am awaiting my next visit, Thanks to my student Doctors Brandon and Nick and the Dr sorry I dont remember your name and you are such a sweet woman.
Your clinic is the wonderful I hope this review brings people who think they could benefit and are afraid to come to do it come to the clinic. I know you will be happy with the decision.

I’ve been going to the UWS clinic on Airport way for about a year and a half. I’ve had three students all of which were very attentive to my needs.
This is not a whack and crack joint. It will take a little longer than your average clinic, but that is because they spend the extra time doing physical therapy, stretching and exercises with you. Something I haven’t seen much of in the other clinics I’ve visited.
They do bill insurance, they do not accept YSA cards as they are recognized as a teaching facility. However, I have been able to submit all of my claims very easily to be reimbursed.
If you are currently under the care of a chiropractor and are sick of having to go once or twice a week for a ten minute visit and then need treatment again right away, I strongly suggest you visit this clinic for a thorough, patient oriented visit. They will help you to try and prevent your problems.

Wow. another place I go all the time that I didn’t realize was Unilocaled about. FYI, Western States is now a University…
I’ve gone to the clinic for more than 10 years. I’ve had great interns, good interns and a very few mediocre ones, but never a bad one. In general, I get great chiropractic care for a very reasonable price, and feel good about helping to train the next generation of DC’s. I’ve also had detailed evaluation of my problems by a supervising DC that probably has more detailed and varied experience than most practicing DC’s. I’ll keep going to the clinic as long as I can… no thanks to my current insurance company, however.
If you are insured, the copay is determined by your insurance, not the clinic. If you don’t have insurance, a basic visit is under $ 30 as of June 2011… As I’ve been a long-​time patient, I don’t know what a new-​patient workup costs, though… but you will get a charge for a new patient workup at ANY doctor you go to.
Remember, you can always ask to speak with the supervising DC — and if you are uncomfortable or feel that you aren’t getting the right care, SAY SOMETHING… they are there to supervise and train. keep in mind, people — this is a training facility for new chiropractors! They are all supervised by instructors, but this is their first exposure to a real patient environment.
